- 0:02Speaker 1: What is it like to come face to face with evil?
- 0:05Speaker 1: To confront your worst nightmare? When a killer comes calling,
- 0:15Speaker 1: there's often no escape.
- 0:19Speaker 2: A man who can kill is evil beyond belief.
- 0:24Speaker 1: To truly encounter evil is a rarity most will never experience.
- 0:31Speaker 3: I believe in evil, and I've experienced people that are evil.
- 0:37Speaker 1: But for those unfortunate few who do and survive to
- 0:41Speaker 1: tell the tale, the mental scars often never heal.
- 0:45Speaker 4: Back on Brave.
- 0:47Speaker 5: My eyes felt and all I could say was his
- 0:49Speaker 5: face on my face and you're just staring into mars.
- 0:53Speaker 1: We meet the men and women whose lives have been
- 0:56Speaker 1: forever altered by their brush with the beasts who live
- 0:59Speaker 1: among us. This is Encounters with Evil. In tonight's program,
- 1:40Speaker 1: we look at sex slayers, murderers whose need to satisfy
- 1:44Speaker 1: their depraved and twisted sexual desires plays a major part
- 1:48Speaker 1: in their monstrous crimes.
- 1:51Speaker 6: One of the reasons people kill is for sex. It's
- 1:53Speaker 6: a motive for quite a few homicides.
- 1:56Speaker 7: A sex slayer is somebody who is motivated by either
- 2:00Speaker 7: sexual anger or sexual sadism.
- 2:04Speaker 1: Coming up, Peter Sutcliffe, the infamous Yorkshire ripper who terrorized
- 2:10Speaker 1: the north of England, in the nineteen seventies, claiming God
- 2:13Speaker 1: directed him in his evil killing campaign.
- 2:17Speaker 8: He was a man who obviously loathed women, but at
- 2:20Speaker 8: the same time was hypnotized fixated on them.
- 2:23Speaker 1: Stephen Wright, the Suffolk strangler, who, like Sutcliffe, targeted prostitutes
- 2:28Speaker 1: and in an orgy of violence, slaughtered five women in
- 2:32Speaker 1: just six weeks.
- 2:34Speaker 5: He's capable of killing a wife or a girlfriend. I mean,
- 2:37Speaker 5: he even called his seldomine machine.
- 2:42Speaker 1: But first the killer couple whose name still strikes terror
- 2:45Speaker 1: into the heart, Fred and Rosemary West. For more than
- 2:52Speaker 1: fifteen years, their warped, sadistic sex crimes and ruthless murders
- 2:56Speaker 1: went unnoticed in a quiet street in Gloucester.
- 3:01Speaker 9: In the heart of Gloucester, one three storied, terraced home
- 3:04Speaker 9: has become the focal point of the city's biggest ever
- 3:07Speaker 9: criminal investigation.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Every floor of this anonymous terrorist house held tales of fear,
- 3:13Speaker 3: of violence, of murder.
- 3:17Speaker 1: They raped, tortured, and killed at least twelve young women
- 3:20Speaker 1: in their house of horrors, including two of their own daughters.
- 3:26Speaker 8: And the first time I ever heard a West interview
- 3:30Speaker 8: literally was his vivid and horrifying description of killing Heather
- 3:38Speaker 8: and dismembering her body and this was his own daughter.
- 3:43Speaker 9: Beneath the yellow tarpaulin, forensic teams have unearthed three sets
- 3:47Speaker 9: of human remains. This is their sixth night excavating underneath
- 3:52Speaker 9: a stone patio which covered the.
- 3:54Speaker 1: Garden twenty five Cromwell Street in Gloucester has become a
- 3:58Speaker 1: twentieth century tale of urban horror.
- 4:01Speaker 7: Fred and Rose West were absolutely the definition of the
- 4:06Speaker 7: most deliant sexual sadists and murderers.
- 4:10Speaker 1: The city reeled from shock at the disturbing events unfolding
- 4:13Speaker 1: in their midst.
- 4:14Speaker 10: Oh, they absolutely rocked by it. It has I think
- 4:18Speaker 10: taken them absolutely a bag. It's come, as these stories would,
- 4:23Speaker 10: so suddenly, and the shot waves are are going around
- 4:26Speaker 10: the city.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Neighbors could hardly believe they've been rubbing shoulders with possibly
- 4:31Speaker 1: the most depraved and vicious serial killing couple the UK
- 4:35Speaker 1: has ever known.
- 4:37Speaker 9: Tonight, as the media descended on the street, neighbors expressed
- 4:40Speaker 9: shocked at what had happened on their doorstep.
- 4:42Speaker 5: It's horrible to think that there are you know, dead
- 4:45Speaker 5: bodies in a garden just down the road.
- 4:47Speaker 11: Totally shocking, especially around you know, in Gloucesga.
- 4:49Speaker 4: I mean you wouldn't expect this to happen.
- 4:52Speaker 1: The remains of nine young girls were eventually disinterred from
- 4:55Speaker 1: the cellar and backyard of Cromwell Street.
- 4:59Speaker 7: The soft ray that was inflicted on Fred and Rose
- 5:02Speaker 7: West victims was beyond human comprehension. The West were instrumental
- 5:08Speaker 7: in desecrating their victims morally physically through murder. They essentially
- 5:15Speaker 7: eradicated the humanness of each and every individual that they attacked.
- 5:19Speaker 1: How a husband and wife could carry out such atrocities
- 5:22Speaker 1: like those committed by the Wests is a question still
- 5:26Speaker 1: being explored by criminologists.
- 5:28Speaker 6: Well, it's unusual to have two killers, two killers together.
- 5:32Speaker 6: What's interesting, what's worrying in this case is we have
- 5:35Speaker 6: both a male and a female killing for sake. Quite clearly,
- 5:39Speaker 6: Rose was sexually orientated to kill, and that is extremely unusual.
- 5:46Speaker 1: It's unlikely anyone saw Rose West, or Dozy Rosie as
- 5:50Speaker 1: she was known at school, as capable of such horror.
- 5:55Speaker 8: Rose was born in Devon, a timid, rather shy little
- 6:00Speaker 8: girl with a very abusive father. Her mother turned a
- 6:04Speaker 8: blind eye, though I believe and always have believed that
- 6:09Speaker 8: she knew exactly what was going on.
- 6:11Speaker 7: Rose had a hideous childhood. There's no doubt when you
- 6:13Speaker 7: look into her history she was hideously abused. She was
- 6:16Speaker 7: systematically raped by her own father, and.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Her whole world would have not.
- 6:21Speaker 7: Been normal in any way, shape or form.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Rose also had the misfortune to meet Fred West when
- 6:27Speaker 1: she was just fifteen and very impressionable.
- 6:31Speaker 8: I'm always a bit hesitant about using the phrase groomed
- 6:35Speaker 8: by her father, but there's no doubt that Rose's dad
- 6:40Speaker 8: did not give her a moral compass to help her
- 6:45Speaker 8: through her adult ears. And no sooner had she fallen
- 6:48Speaker 8: into the hands of another man without a moral compass,
- 6:51Speaker 8: i e. Frederick West, she was completely at sea.
- 6:56Speaker 1: Fred's early life was, if possible, even more dysfunctional than is.
- 7:01Speaker 8: Son of a farm laborer who had an appetite for
- 7:04Speaker 8: I'm sure best reality with animals, particularly pigs. I believe
- 7:09Speaker 8: that Fred was introduced into the family business if you
- 7:12Speaker 8: like Walter west Is father, I'm sure abused children. I'm
- 7:16Speaker 8: sure took advantage of any local girl. After all, they
- 7:20Speaker 8: were probably slightly more interesting than the local sheep.
- 7:23Speaker 1: It's widely believed that incest was rife in the West family,
- 7:27Speaker 1: and Fred's father's attitude towards sex was deeply unhealthy, and
- 7:32Speaker 1: he passed this on to his son.
- 7:34Speaker 6: He had a very disturbed sexual history in the sense
- 7:37Speaker 6: that he claims his father said basically, do what you
- 7:41Speaker 6: want and don't get caught, which is hardly the right
- 7:44Speaker 6: attitude to search for your your son being.
- 7:47Speaker 7: Brought up with such a confused mentality by somebody who's
- 7:51Speaker 7: meant to be your role model, particularly for somebody like Fred,
- 7:55Speaker 7: you know, he certainly would have been influenced by that
- 7:57Speaker 7: kind of messaging.
- 8:00Speaker 1: At nineteen, Fred slipped up and was convicted of molesting
- 8:03Speaker 1: a thirteen year old child, but escaped without a prison
- 8:07Speaker 1: sentence and then moved to Lanarkshire, Scotland.
- 8:13Speaker 8: Finally fell for a Scot's woman, Rena Costello, who had
- 8:21Speaker 8: been a prostitute in Glasgow. Fred and Rena never got
- 8:24Speaker 8: on terribly well. However, they had a child and then another,
- 8:31Speaker 8: Anna Marie, and then Charmain. They returned to Gloucester, they
- 8:35Speaker 8: hire or shall we say entice, a young woman called
- 8:39Speaker 8: Anne McFall to help them look after the children, and Fred,
- 8:43Speaker 8: in the end kills both Rena Costello's first wife and
- 8:48Speaker 8: Anne McFall and buries them within sight of the family home.
- 8:52Speaker 12: In lunchmark.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Fred meets Rose on her fifteenth birthday in nineteen sixty eight.
- 9:00Speaker 1: A year later, they marry and Rose soon gives birth
- 9:04Speaker 1: to their first child, Heather.
- 9:07Speaker 8: You've got this union of these two deeply abused and
- 9:10Speaker 8: his incestuous relationships. But even more frightening, you then get
- 9:18Speaker 8: Rosemary West's father and Frederick West abusing Rose even after
- 9:24Speaker 8: the Rose are married, and abusing the children and finding
- 9:28Speaker 8: victims together.
- 9:29Speaker 7: When Rose meets Fred, what we have is a perfect alliance.
- 9:36Speaker 7: She's seeking a protective mechanism, but also somebody who can
- 9:40Speaker 7: fulfill what potentially she has walked sexual idea wise, and
- 9:45Speaker 7: he has already been engaged in those kind of scenarios himself,
- 9:50Speaker 7: growing up an incestuous life with his family. He understands.
- 9:56Speaker 6: I think here we've got a situation where they've both
- 9:59Speaker 6: had quite of childhoods with sexual divinity in the teenagers.
- 10:04Speaker 6: I think that just carried on, so they didn't have
- 10:07Speaker 6: the moral boundaries that most people would have.
- 10:10Speaker 1: The unholy union of Fred and Rose was cemented by
- 10:13Speaker 1: a mutual, unhealthy predilection for twisted sex.
- 10:18Speaker 8: Let there be no doubt that West love sex with
- 10:21Speaker 8: young women, often very young women. And he loved to
- 10:27Speaker 8: manipulate them, and he loved to have his way with them.
- 10:30Speaker 7: West went for a particular type of young girl. They
- 10:33Speaker 7: tended to be straining from, for example, the care system,
- 10:36Speaker 7: or they might come and work for them, because again
- 10:38Speaker 7: they were quite lost girls. And they're perfect because lost
- 10:42Speaker 7: children aren't being followed by anyone, which gives license to
- 10:46Speaker 7: that kind of behavior.
- 10:48Speaker 1: When Fred and Rose moved to Cromwell Road to accommodate
- 10:51Speaker 1: their growing family, they took in lodgers and Rose worked
- 10:55Speaker 1: as a prostitute. Inside their home, Fred would watch through
- 11:01Speaker 1: a people, sometimes videotaping the sessions. Writer Jeffrey Wantsell was
- 11:06Speaker 1: granted access to the videotapes for research purposes.
- 11:10Speaker 8: I remember watching Fred's home videos of Rose and the
- 11:15Speaker 8: pleasure that she took in abusing herself sexually in performing
- 11:24Speaker 8: for Fred. You cannot take that memory out of your mind.
- 11:28Speaker 6: Clearly it comes across that she's pleasing Fred by her
- 11:32Speaker 6: sexual behavior. He enjoys watching her acting as a prostute
- 11:36Speaker 6: when she was still in her late teens. She engages
- 11:40Speaker 6: in sexual assaults on a children, and again that is
- 11:44Speaker 6: for her pleasure, but also for Fred's pleasure.
- 11:46Speaker 13: The couple become in their sort of narcissistic passion for
- 11:51Speaker 13: each other, they begin to slowly lose connection with the
- 11:54Speaker 13: moral boundaries around them in their society. There's no reality
- 11:57Speaker 13: check for it, and in that sense, it's quite similar
- 11:59Speaker 13: to what's called folia d'Eu, which is shared psychotic disorder
- 12:04Speaker 13: where one person buys into the hallucinations of the other person.
- 12:08Speaker 13: In this case, it's not hallucinations they're buying into, its
- 12:12Speaker 13: increasingly taboo behavior.
- 12:16Speaker 1: That taboo behavior was not only depraved sex, but murder,
- 12:21Speaker 1: and they hunted down girls for this wicked purpose.
- 12:26Speaker 3: We now know that the girls had fallen prey to
- 12:29Speaker 3: the Wests as they cruised the area in a search
- 12:31Speaker 3: for victims. Over the next six years, the Wests tortured
- 12:35Speaker 3: and killed five more girls in the cellar of their home.
- 12:39Speaker 1: Twenty five Cromwell Street became a charnel house. Girls were
- 12:43Speaker 1: routinely enticed there, sexually abused, tortured, killed, chopped into pieces
- 12:49Speaker 1: and buried in the backyard or cellar.
- 12:51Speaker 7: Nobody looks at a family and suspects that they are
- 12:55Speaker 7: capable of the hideous, statistic murders that took place.
- 13:00Speaker 1: As their depravity continued the Wests produced seven children, and
- 13:04Speaker 1: their own daughters were not immune from the abuse.
- 13:07Speaker 7: That two human beings could work together to desecrate their
- 13:11Speaker 7: own family members, let alone strangers. It defies what you
- 13:17Speaker 7: think about when you consider human relationships. Husband and wives
- 13:20Speaker 7: are meant to be loving and compassionate.
- 13:23Speaker 6: She held down her daughter, or Fred the father actually
- 13:26Speaker 6: raped his own daughter.
- 13:33Speaker 1: In May nineteen ninety two, Fred West filmed himself raping
- 13:36Speaker 1: his daughter Heather. Heather then made the fatal mistake of
- 13:40Speaker 1: telling friends at school.
- 13:42Speaker 7: He starts to tell her friends, and whilst nothing happens,
- 13:47Speaker 7: it creates a warning for Fred and Rose. You know
- 13:50Speaker 7: Heather is a loose cannon. Heather signs her death Warren
- 13:54Speaker 7: by telling anybody about the abuse.
- 13:57Speaker 1: It's very hard to believe that the West's literally get
- 14:00Speaker 1: away with murder for over twenty years.
- 14:05Speaker 8: Fred was an extraordinary manipulator of people, and that includes everyone,
- 14:13Speaker 8: his children, his wife, social services, the police, everyone. But
- 14:18Speaker 8: he did it with a sort of charm and a
- 14:21Speaker 8: sort of rather insouscience that you might have felt cracky. Well,
- 14:25Speaker 8: he's not a bad chat really, which Unfortunately, a lot
- 14:29Speaker 8: of people and including at least twelve young women.
- 14:32Speaker 7: Fell from One of the things that the children start
- 14:34Speaker 7: talking about is this idea that Heather is buried under
- 14:38Speaker 7: the patio, and it's just a stunning joke. But a
- 14:41Speaker 7: local Bobby hears of this, and Detective Constable Hazel Savage
- 14:46Speaker 7: is brought in and she already has some misgivings about
- 14:50Speaker 7: the West household, and that triggers the investigation.
- 14:53Speaker 8: Hazel Savage, who had first met West when he was
- 14:56Speaker 8: still with Rina Costello, she'd known him a very, very
- 14:59Speaker 8: long time, started to say, what's happened to Heather.
- 15:04Speaker 1: It soon became apparent what had happened. After Hazel Savage
- 15:08Speaker 1: obtains a warrant for Cromwell Street.
- 15:11Speaker 3: A specialist search team arrived at Cromwell Street with a
- 15:14Speaker 3: warrant to search for Heather West. They had no idea
- 15:19Speaker 3: of what was to follow. Officers who found Heather's remains
- 15:23Speaker 3: within hours also found signs that she was not alone.
- 15:27Speaker 1: The Wests are arrested, and after initial denials, Fred crumbles
- 15:32Speaker 1: and admits to the murders. Jeffrey Wonsell had the opportunity
- 15:36Speaker 1: to hear those confessions first hand.
- 15:39Speaker 8: And I put the tape into the cassette recorder and
- 15:41Speaker 8: I pressed the play button, and there is that little
- 15:43Speaker 8: sing song voice. Please give your name for the cape, Fred,
- 15:46Speaker 8: Frederick Walter Stephen West, that little Herefordshire BurrH. Oh, Fred,
- 15:50Speaker 8: we'd like to talk to you about Heather. Yes, well
- 15:53Speaker 8: she was very difficult, and then he goes into the
- 15:56Speaker 8: most elaborate detail about well, she'd been very difficult, so
- 16:00Speaker 8: I had to hit her, and then well obviously I couldn't. Well,
- 16:04Speaker 8: I had to cut her up, but getting the legs
- 16:06Speaker 8: off is very difficult, and then you have to cut
- 16:07Speaker 8: the head off. And then it was extraordinarily horrifying because
- 16:18Speaker 8: this is a man describing killing his own daughter.
- 16:22Speaker 3: As forensic scientists worked to identify the victims, Fred West
- 16:26Speaker 3: claimed that he alone was responsible for their deaths.
- 16:31Speaker 1: But Fred was never to face the justice he deserved
- 16:34Speaker 1: for his twenty year campaign of murder and sexual depravity.
- 16:40Speaker 14: Prison officers coming off shift said they were shocked, but
- 16:43Speaker 14: certainly not embarrassed anyone determined to kill themselves could succeed.
- 16:48Speaker 1: On January the first, nineteen ninety five, Fred commits suicide
- 16:53Speaker 1: in prison.
- 16:53Speaker 9: In the words of one neighbor, if Frederick West really
- 16:56Speaker 9: did kill himself, then it seems almost appropriate that a
- 17:00Speaker 9: man accused of taking so many people's lives should end
- 17:03Speaker 9: up taking his own.
- 17:06Speaker 1: Rose's trial starts in November nineteen ninety five.
- 17:11Speaker 9: Her husband may have escaped justice, but Rosemary West must
- 17:15Speaker 9: still face the courts. She's charged with nine murders. All
- 17:18Speaker 9: were young women. All were buried under the foundations or
- 17:22Speaker 9: in the garden at twenty five Cromwell Street. One was
- 17:25Speaker 9: her daughter, Heather.
- 17:26Speaker 1: Unlike fred Rose never confessed to any of the murders.
- 17:30Speaker 6: I went to the trial and I was fascinated by
- 17:34Speaker 6: her in the sense that she sat in the dock,
- 17:37Speaker 6: absolute straight face, looking at the jury, looking at the judge.
- 17:41Speaker 6: She gave no emotions at all.
- 17:43Speaker 8: I don't believe that Rose started out as an evil person.
- 17:47Speaker 8: I believe that she became wicked because of the effect
- 17:50Speaker 8: of her father and the effect of Frederick West. She
- 17:53Speaker 8: did many, many evil things, but I don't think she
- 17:56Speaker 8: was intrinsically sociopathic.
- 17:58Speaker 6: Were they evil, They weren't born evil, but certainly life
- 18:02Speaker 6: made them very disturbed people in many ways. They were
- 18:06Speaker 6: mentally disturbed in the sense that their values the boundaries
- 18:11Speaker 6: were so out of contact with the rest of society.
- 18:15Speaker 3: A verdict has been reached A jury discharged, but for
- 18:18Speaker 3: eight weeks, audiences around the world have been gripped by
- 18:22Speaker 3: the drama unfolding in Winchester's Court.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Number three. Rosemary West is one of only three British
- 18:30Speaker 1: women to receive a whole life tariff. She will never
- 18:34Speaker 1: be released.
- 18:36Speaker 7: Freda Rose West didn't see they're victims as people. They
- 18:39Speaker 7: were just sexual objects. They were pleasure givers. They were
- 18:43Speaker 7: the vessels that they required.
- 18:45Speaker 12: It's that.
- 18:47Speaker 8: Partnership are evil that is so powerful.
- 18:53Speaker 1: For one member of the abused West family. The verdict
- 18:56Speaker 1: offered some kind of closure.
- 18:58Speaker 14: At the end of last week, Fred West's daughter Anne
- 19:01Speaker 14: Marie was given a last chance to look around the building.
- 19:05Speaker 11: I felt that I needed to visit the house for
- 19:09Speaker 11: one last time to help me late to rest. Really,
- 19:13Speaker 11: as I was going down the stairs, I could feel
- 19:19Speaker 11: almost taste fear.
- 19:26Speaker 1: Our next sexual serial killer went on a frenzied spree
- 19:29Speaker 1: of murder in two thousand and six, slaying five prostitutes
- 19:33Speaker 1: in Ipswich in just six short weeks from the.
- 19:37Speaker 15: Start of this investigation. Detective said the answers they were
- 19:40Speaker 15: looking for would probably be found here in the.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Red Light district.
- 19:44Speaker 15: That's why they'll continue looking for witnesses here among the prostitutes,
- 19:48Speaker 15: their clients and others who simply passed.
- 19:51Speaker 3: Through the area.
- 19:52Speaker 16: We're going inside the house of a serial killer. Seventy
- 19:56Speaker 16: nine London Road. Once just an ordinary, semi an address
- 20:00Speaker 16: on a dark map of dreadful crimes which will never
- 20:04Speaker 16: be forgotten. Just the day to day debris of a
- 20:06Speaker 16: busy home, a cluttered kitchen, a fry up, possibly his
- 20:10Speaker 16: last home cooked breakfast. Only the gray fingerprint dust left
- 20:15Speaker 16: by the forensic team tells you this is a crime scene.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Perhaps the most terrifying thing about the man dubbed the
- 20:21Speaker 1: Suffolk Strangler is just how normal he seemed to those
- 20:25Speaker 1: who knew him. We've been on holiday with Steve.
- 20:28Speaker 7: We took him back to chet Varron, Belfast, France and family.
- 20:33Speaker 14: You know, it's a total shot win because the thing
- 20:35Speaker 14: is he seemed to quiet, unobtrusive.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Next gay well, very clean cut.
- 20:39Speaker 12: Well was added.
- 20:40Speaker 8: He was a man hiding in plain sight. That was
- 20:44Speaker 8: how he managed it. He was someone who could convince you,
- 20:49Speaker 8: much as Frederick West was, that there was nothing to
- 20:52Speaker 8: be afraid of. He was a perfectly ordinary man, in
- 20:55Speaker 8: his case a perfectly ordinary punter. For the prostitutes he
- 20:58Speaker 8: picked up.
- 21:01Speaker 1: This regular punter was a man called Steve Wright.
- 21:05Speaker 8: Of his five victims, he'd known three of them and
- 21:08Speaker 8: picked them up on a number of occasions.
- 21:10Speaker 1: But hidden beneath a facade of normality, Steve Wright maintained
- 21:14Speaker 1: lay something very dark.
- 21:15Speaker 17: Indeed, Stephen Wright was clearly psychopathic. He had this trait,
- 21:21Speaker 17: but he kind of made it more affable to others.
- 21:26Speaker 7: There was nothing about him to suggest that he was
- 21:30Speaker 7: working as a potential killer in any community.
- 21:34Speaker 17: He was, however, very violent with girlfriends wives.
- 21:38Speaker 5: He went for me with a knife or the person
- 21:41Speaker 5: suing sharp it missed me and went in the dark.
- 21:44Speaker 5: And that's what he was like.
- 21:47Speaker 1: Steve Wright was not just violent at home. He took
- 21:50Speaker 1: his anger onto the streets to kill the working girls
- 21:53Speaker 1: he knew so well.
- 21:55Speaker 12: And we have to think about the mechanics of how
- 21:57Speaker 12: he killed the girls. There was very little sign of
- 22:01Speaker 12: physical trauma or sexual assault on these girls.
- 22:04Speaker 6: There's no beating about the body, no beating about the head.
- 22:07Speaker 6: It would appear that he probably put his hand over
- 22:09Speaker 6: the mass and suffocated them.
- 22:11Speaker 18: A forty eight year old man was arrested at his
- 22:14Speaker 18: home address in Ipswich at approximately five am this morning.
- 22:18Speaker 18: He has been arrested on suspicion of murdering all five
- 22:22Speaker 18: women jem Or Adams, Tanya Nickel, Annalie Alderton, Paula Clanell
- 22:28Speaker 18: and Annette Nichols.
- 22:30Speaker 1: Could something in rights background provide clues to these murderous acts.
- 22:35Speaker 6: You know, we're used to hearing Syriah killers having very
- 22:37Speaker 6: bizarre childhood. He didn't seem to have a very bizarre childhood.
- 22:41Speaker 12: Right upbringing was normal and benine to the point of
- 22:45Speaker 12: being nondescript.
- 22:47Speaker 6: He left school about fifteen. He then joined the Merchant Navy. Again,
- 22:51Speaker 6: there's nothing unusual in that. He presumably like traveling, like
- 22:54Speaker 6: to see the world.
- 22:56Speaker 1: It's here he started his lifelong fascination institutes.
- 23:02Speaker 7: As an individual, he was somebody who was completely compulsive
- 23:06Speaker 7: and impulsive and addictive in the way that his personality
- 23:10Speaker 7: was so. He would gamble huge, he would have sex
- 23:12Speaker 7: with lots of prostitutes. He would spend lots of money
- 23:15Speaker 7: on things like alcohol.
- 23:18Speaker 1: His compulsive behavior trades didn't stop him marrying at the
- 23:21Speaker 1: age of twenty and having a child.
- 23:24Speaker 8: The marriage didn't last, and besides, by this time Wright
- 23:29Speaker 8: had started what was to become a lifelong addiction to drink,
- 23:34Speaker 8: gambling and prostitutes.
- 23:36Speaker 12: Could have been an individual who had what some experts
- 23:39Speaker 12: could say as an addictive personality. So, because Wright's life
- 23:44Speaker 12: was so bland and dull, and there was nothing of interest,
- 23:47Speaker 12: nothing of any great magnitude for him to attach himself to,
- 23:51Speaker 12: he filled the gaps with his addictions.
- 23:54Speaker 1: After leaving the Merchant Navy, Wright worked as a lorry
- 23:57Speaker 1: driver and a publican, and had a second child, daughter, the.
- 24:01Speaker 8: Age of twenty nine. He married again second time, but
- 24:06Speaker 8: that lasted yesterday year, but at that point he was
- 24:09Speaker 8: running a pub in Norwich.
- 24:10Speaker 1: Second wife, Diane Cole, lived with Wright in the Ferryboat Pub.
- 24:15Speaker 1: Their marriage was short lived because Wright's behavior was so abusive.
- 24:19Speaker 5: He never stayed in it was out all the time,
- 24:22Speaker 5: on it every night. It's all were very well, people saying, oh,
- 24:25Speaker 5: you should have just got away from it. It's not
- 24:28Speaker 5: very easy when you've got a crawl break around, you've
- 24:34Speaker 5: got nothing for yourself. You humiliated. It's a terrible situation
- 24:41Speaker 5: to be in. I would have said he's capable of
- 24:44Speaker 5: killing a wife or a girlfriend in a tempt there.
- 24:47Speaker 5: I mean he even called his self domine machine.
- 24:50Speaker 1: The swift unraveling of Wright's murderer spree came with the
- 24:53Speaker 1: discovery of the first body of a young woman on
- 24:56Speaker 1: the second of December two thousand and six. The body
- 24:59Speaker 1: was later identified as Gemma Adams.
- 25:02Speaker 6: I was shocking.
- 25:03Speaker 11: You know, she didn't deserve It doesn't makes me feel sick.
- 25:08Speaker 14: Are you worried as similar thing could happened to you?
- 25:12Speaker 11: Well, that could happen to anyone.
- 25:13Speaker 1: Paula Clenell went on to be Right's final victim.
- 25:18Speaker 6: He was comfortable with prostitutes and the working girls were
- 25:21Speaker 6: comfortable with him, which is quite important because they didn't
- 25:25Speaker 6: see him as a threat because he was well known
- 25:28Speaker 6: to them.
- 25:28Speaker 14: Discreetly shielded by a line of police officers in their vehicles,
- 25:32Speaker 14: the body of a young woman is recovered from a
- 25:34Speaker 14: brook in the countryside just outside Ips, which for the
- 25:38Speaker 14: second time in less than a week, the grim sight
- 25:40Speaker 14: of an ambulance taking away a dead girl whose naked
- 25:43Speaker 14: body had somehow ended up in a stream.
- 25:46Speaker 1: While reports of discovered bodies mounted, Right maintained a normal life.
- 25:52Speaker 1: In a newspaper interview, his then partner Pamela says they
- 25:55Speaker 1: watched news of the girl's bodies being discovered together.
- 25:59Speaker 7: There is this hue huge myth that you can spot
- 26:02Speaker 7: a serial killer, that they look a certain way, But
- 26:05Speaker 7: the truth is that they are neighbors. They're the teacher
- 26:09Speaker 7: at your local school. They have a mask of normality,
- 26:13Speaker 7: and those masks are so secure and are almost infallible
- 26:18Speaker 7: that it takes a great deal for them to slip.
- 26:21Speaker 12: They can compartmentalize their lives so that all of the
- 26:24Speaker 12: horror and the evil that happens in the killing doesn't
- 26:27Speaker 12: leach out or bleed into their domestic side. They're able
- 26:31Speaker 12: to keep this appearance of normality when it's needed. And
- 26:35Speaker 12: that's clearly what I think Wright was doing here. He
- 26:38Speaker 12: had his domestic life, he had his work life, and
- 26:41Speaker 12: he had his killing life, and they didn't leak into
- 26:44Speaker 12: each other.
- 26:46Speaker 1: CCTV footage actually captured Right prowling the red light district
- 26:50Speaker 1: in his blue Mondeo, but despite being stopped twice by
- 26:55Speaker 1: police for questioning, he aroused no suspicions. The Suffolk Strangler's
- 27:02Speaker 1: campaign of killing prostitutes leaves the red light district of
- 27:05Speaker 1: Ipswich almost empty of working girls at.
- 27:08Speaker 19: A time of night when you would expect this main
- 27:11Speaker 19: strip to be busy. It seems that the town's working
- 27:14Speaker 19: girls have taken hints of the police's warnings and are
- 27:17Speaker 19: staying at home, but the fear has spread beyond these streets.
- 27:22Speaker 1: The killing continues until police isolate a sample of DNA.
- 27:27Speaker 4: He was trapped by methodical police work. Officers arrested the
- 27:31Speaker 4: forty nine year old when DNA found on the last
- 27:34Speaker 4: three victims match disample taken from Right following his conviction
- 27:39Speaker 4: for theft a few years earlier.
- 27:41Speaker 12: I don't think he expected to get away with it
- 27:43Speaker 12: for long. He didn't leave a cooling off period between
- 27:46Speaker 12: the kills. He knew that the police were looking for
- 27:50Speaker 12: a murderer, he knew that the police were warning working girls.
- 27:54Speaker 12: He still took incredible risks.
- 27:56Speaker 6: His speed of killing within a week or two each one,
- 28:01Speaker 6: that is unusual, and all the odds who are against him.
- 28:03Speaker 6: There's so much police attention. Yet he was arrogant enough
- 28:07Speaker 6: to carry on doing it or driven.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Throughout his police interrogation, Right maintained his silence.
- 28:15Speaker 11: We've got to last games with your DNA and the
- 28:19Speaker 11: one before with your DNA both on their naked bodies.
- 28:26Speaker 10: How can that be?
- 28:29Speaker 8: Local end Wright has never for one second admitted his guilt.
- 28:35Speaker 8: He's always insisted forcefully that he is an innocent man
- 28:40Speaker 8: and falsely convicted.
- 28:42Speaker 1: During his six week trial, Right continued to maintain he
- 28:46Speaker 1: knew nothing of the murders.
- 28:47Speaker 12: That we've seen this in the case of other serial
- 28:50Speaker 12: killers in this country. Looking at Dr Harold Shipman and
- 28:53Speaker 12: looking at Levi Bellfield, both individuals who refused to play ball,
- 28:58Speaker 12: they stonewall.
- 28:59Speaker 7: The easiest thing to do in that circumstance is to deny.
- 29:03Speaker 6: It draws the.
- 29:04Speaker 7: Whole scenario out, and you still believe there is just
- 29:08Speaker 7: a possibility that, whilst the world is watching, you can
- 29:12Speaker 7: still walk away.
- 29:14Speaker 1: The jury of nine women and three men reached a
- 29:17Speaker 1: unanimous guilty verdict on all five murderccounts, though those closest
- 29:21Speaker 1: to him still seemed unable to believe his guilt.
- 29:25Speaker 18: I've known him for forty years and he's not got
- 29:28Speaker 18: a malicious bone in his body.
- 29:31Speaker 5: I just can't think that he done this.
- 29:34Speaker 4: He left court today knowing an automatic life sentence awaits him,
- 29:38Speaker 4: but Steve Wright may still refuse to reveal what drove
- 29:41Speaker 4: his murderer's campaign.
- 29:43Speaker 12: The most evil thing about Right is that his devil
- 29:46Speaker 12: horns are on the inside and you just don't know
- 29:49Speaker 12: it's evil when you meet it. He was able to
- 29:52Speaker 12: persuade those girls to get in his car time and
- 29:55Speaker 12: time again.
- 29:56Speaker 1: Although Steve Wright continues to deny all his crimes in
- 30:00Speaker 1: prison and will never be released. Right slaying of women
- 30:08Speaker 1: who are all prostitutes has drawn comparisons with our final killer,
- 30:13Speaker 1: Peter Sutcliffe, the Yorkshire Ripper.
- 30:15Speaker 8: The comparison is interesting but not convincing. It isn't utterly
- 30:21Speaker 8: clear that, oh, yes, Stephen Wright is another version of
- 30:26Speaker 8: the Yorkshire Ripper. I don't believe that. Suckcliffe is a
- 30:29Speaker 8: very complex, dangerous man with a great deal of deviousness
- 30:35Speaker 8: and manipulation. Right lives in a complete in my mind fantasy.
- 30:41Speaker 8: Sutcliffe knows perfectly well what he's doing almost all the time.
- 30:45Speaker 12: The yorkre Ripper is probably the most prolific serial murderer
- 30:50Speaker 12: Britain has seen and will see ever.
- 30:53Speaker 8: Women throughout Yorkshire were terrified to go out at nine.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Sutcliffe's walked attitude towards working girls and sex led him
- 31:03Speaker 1: to slaughter thirteen women in northern England.
- 31:06Speaker 12: The first reports of him being called the Yorkshire Ripper
- 31:10Speaker 12: weren't actually to do with specific injuries of the victims,
- 31:14Speaker 12: but it was to do with the similarity of Jack
- 31:17Speaker 12: the Ripper targeting prostitutes.
- 31:22Speaker 8: This wasn't just five victims in the East End, as
- 31:26Speaker 8: Jack the Ripper was. This was many, many victims in
- 31:30Speaker 8: a respectable county. We weren't in the alleyways of Whitechapel.
- 31:35Speaker 8: We were in the good streets of Yorkshire.
- 31:39Speaker 2: Somewhere near here lives the killer they call the Yorkshire Ripper.
- 31:42Speaker 2: His five year career of killing began in the red
- 31:44Speaker 2: light district of Chapeltown.
- 31:46Speaker 12: The Ripper was mobile, Nobody really knew what he looked like,
- 31:50Speaker 12: and there was a real nationwide fear and every time
- 31:54Speaker 12: the news was on there would be another press conference,
- 31:57Speaker 12: and you really had this feeling that out there somewhere
- 32:01Speaker 12: was the Ripper and he was one step ahead of
- 32:03Speaker 12: the police.
- 32:04Speaker 2: Detectives suspected one man. Now five years later, the death
- 32:08Speaker 2: toll has reached thirteen, each death bringing grief and tragedy
- 32:11Speaker 2: to the victim's family.
- 32:13Speaker 12: And this was before the Internet age. This was before
- 32:15Speaker 12: texting and social media could fuel a panic. This was
- 32:20Speaker 12: generated by TV and newspapers alarmed.
- 32:23Speaker 2: This is the day Jacqueline Hill would have come home
- 32:25Speaker 2: for Christmas with her family. Instead, they wept over her coffin.
- 32:28Speaker 2: It's just over a month since she became the thirteenth
- 32:31Speaker 2: victim of the Yorkshire Ripper.
- 32:33Speaker 1: The Ripper seemed to favor working girls.
- 32:36Speaker 17: He had some kind of mission, if you like, against prostitutes,
- 32:41Speaker 17: against females in general. He would pick on vulnerable, isolated females.
- 32:48Speaker 1: Some believe there were far more murders than thirteen.
- 32:51Speaker 6: There is some suggestion that he killed more, but we
- 32:56Speaker 6: know he can at least thirteen, and then he ended
- 32:58Speaker 6: at least another seven.
- 33:00Speaker 8: I have always believed that Sutcliffe killed and attacked long
- 33:05Speaker 8: before he started the famous five year spree.
- 33:11Speaker 1: What is known for sure is that Sutcliff's attacks were brutal, vicious,
- 33:15Speaker 1: and primitive.
- 33:16Speaker 12: Sutcliffe's weapon of choice was a ball peen hammer. He
- 33:20Speaker 12: would often also have chisels or knives. One of his
- 33:24Speaker 12: most common methods that he's used was to get behind
- 33:28Speaker 12: his victim at night, in the dark, in an isolated
- 33:32Speaker 12: space and hit them on the back of the head
- 33:35Speaker 12: with the hammer.
- 33:39Speaker 17: He would then use a utensil such as a screwdriver
- 33:45Speaker 17: or a knife that's very long. He would disembowel them,
- 33:50Speaker 17: He would do various things with their intestines, and some
- 33:54Speaker 17: of their injuries that he actually did inflict ultimately are
- 33:59Speaker 17: not generally reported.
- 34:04Speaker 12: On many of his attacks, Sutcliffe wore a modified pair
- 34:10Speaker 12: of overalls. These were overall trousers that he wore which
- 34:14Speaker 12: had the crotch cut out, which meant that he could
- 34:19Speaker 12: have sex with a victim at very short notice without
- 34:24Speaker 12: having to take off his trousers and his underwear.
- 34:28Speaker 1: What is far less knowable is the motivation of Sudcliffe.
- 34:32Speaker 1: How could any human be capable of such sustained barbarism.
- 34:37Speaker 17: Peter Sutcliff's murders were motivated by his own perverse sense
- 34:41Speaker 17: of sex.
- 34:42Speaker 1: Peter Subcliffe was paraphilic.
- 34:44Speaker 17: His sexuality had to involve sadism, rape, an initial attraction
- 34:52Speaker 17: towards prostitutes, and an obvious idea that they were the
- 34:56Speaker 17: less than dead, that they were not going to be
- 34:58Speaker 17: noticed less than a normal person would be noticed if
- 35:01Speaker 17: they went missing.
- 35:02Speaker 1: After a four year fruitless manhunt, Yorkshire Police was still
- 35:06Speaker 1: no closer to ending the Ripper's reign of terror. Their
- 35:09Speaker 1: focus is drawn to a suspect called wearside Jack.
- 35:12Speaker 8: If there was one thing that probably delayed Suckliffe's final arrest,
- 35:18Speaker 8: it was the red herring of a tape recording sent
- 35:21Speaker 8: to the police by a man who claimed he was
- 35:24Speaker 8: the ripper.
- 35:24Speaker 2: So, in their second major bid this week to catch
- 35:27Speaker 2: the river, detectives have released samples from one of the
- 35:29Speaker 2: four letters he's written. Parts of the letters contained details
- 35:32Speaker 2: police want kept secret.
- 35:34Speaker 12: The police believed the cassettes and letters were genuine, and
- 35:38Speaker 12: they came up with a profile of a weir side
- 35:41Speaker 12: male looked like this, but the real killer looked like that.
- 35:46Speaker 6: Oh, the hoax was the worst thing that could have happened,
- 35:49Speaker 6: because they spent far too much time trying to track
- 35:53Speaker 6: down the hoaxer.
- 35:54Speaker 17: The fact that they followed this red herring almost to
- 35:58Speaker 17: source to discover that the entire investigation had been diverted
- 36:04Speaker 17: to the point where they could have saved quite a
- 36:07Speaker 17: number of victims.
- 36:09Speaker 12: I warned you in March that I'd astray.
- 36:12Speaker 5: I reckon your boys are letting you down, George.
- 36:15Speaker 12: We know now that we are definitely looking for a
- 36:18Speaker 12: man originated in the Northeast, and have even been able
- 36:22Speaker 12: to look down on the occasions that Sutcliffe himself was
- 36:27Speaker 12: stopped in the red Light district. Police officers didn't pay
- 36:31Speaker 12: much attention because he didn't have a weird side accent.
- 36:35Speaker 12: He had a Yorkshire accent and he was able to
- 36:37Speaker 12: go and while the police were busy looking in that direction,
- 36:40Speaker 12: Sutcliffe was over there killing more and more victims.
- 36:45Speaker 1: The police came in for a lot of criticism during
- 36:48Speaker 1: the Ripper manhunt, not least because they actually interviewed Sutcliffe
- 36:52Speaker 1: on a number of occasions. But in the pre computer age,
- 36:56Speaker 1: they were simply overwhelmed.
- 36:58Speaker 12: They didn't have the technology. They didn't have the initial
- 37:01Speaker 12: resources and manpower that they needed.
- 37:03Speaker 17: You cannot possibly cross reference everything physically and mentally. It
- 37:08Speaker 17: has to be done by computers.
- 37:10Speaker 6: He came up nine times and the police got criticized
- 37:13Speaker 6: for that, but they were interviewing thousands of thousands of suspects.
- 37:18Speaker 8: They were also under intense pressure from the local authority,
- 37:23Speaker 8: from Parliament to solve this, to find the Ripper. You
- 37:27Speaker 8: can't just let this go on.
- 37:28Speaker 12: Clearly lessons were learned. The Home Office knew that they
- 37:32Speaker 12: needed to bring in a computerized system to manage the
- 37:35Speaker 12: flow of this information.
- 37:37Speaker 1: The terror across Yorkshire was intense. Many women stayed home
- 37:41Speaker 1: after dark, though there were plenty who had no choice
- 37:44Speaker 1: but to venture out.
- 37:45Speaker 20: The murder victim was identified tonight as twenty year old
- 37:48Speaker 20: Jacqueline Hill, a student who had been living in the
- 37:51Speaker 20: heading The area of the city. Miss Hill's body was
- 37:53Speaker 20: found on waste ground near a shopping center late this morning.
- 37:56Speaker 20: That has therefore been inevitable speculation that she may be
- 38:00Speaker 20: the thirteenth victim of the Yorkshire.
- 38:01Speaker 1: Ripper, and still detectives were no nearer to identifying the Ripper.
- 38:06Speaker 1: Even those closest to Sutcliffe had no idea.
- 38:09Speaker 12: People at work thought he was chatty, thought he was
- 38:12Speaker 12: Jack the Lad. He wasn't seen as being an abnormal loner.
- 38:16Speaker 12: He wasn't seen as being a weirdo or someone strange.
- 38:20Speaker 12: Nobody suspected him.
- 38:22Speaker 8: He was a very accomplished liar, a very accomplished manipulator
- 38:26Speaker 8: of the police, and a very accomplished manipulator of women,
- 38:30Speaker 8: including I suspect his wife, Sonya.
- 38:32Speaker 12: It's perfectly reasonable to believe that Sonya Sutcliffe had no
- 38:36Speaker 12: idea what her husband was doing because he had a
- 38:39Speaker 12: job where he moved around a lot, where he was
- 38:41Speaker 12: driving around a lot, and there was no mobile phone
- 38:44Speaker 12: for him to keep in touch.
- 38:49Speaker 1: Finally, after thousands of police hours spent on one of
- 38:52Speaker 1: the biggest manhunts ever seen, after the years of fear
- 38:57Speaker 1: of dead ends of hoaxes, Sutcliffe was apprehended in the
- 39:01Speaker 1: most mundane circumstances.
- 39:03Speaker 6: The police only caught him by chance. He was in
- 39:07Speaker 6: a car with fake number plates.
- 39:09Speaker 8: They've phoned the control room, The control room says, yes,
- 39:12Speaker 8: the car's stolen. They realized that false number plates been
- 39:15Speaker 8: put on.
- 39:15Speaker 12: It and he had a working girl with him in
- 39:17Speaker 12: the car. They got him out for a chat and
- 39:20Speaker 12: Sutcliffe said, I need to go and take a leak,
- 39:23Speaker 12: and he went over to take a wi behind a
- 39:26Speaker 12: bin and while he was there he ditched his hammer
- 39:29Speaker 12: and a chisel. And it was only because that police
- 39:31Speaker 12: officer afterwards thought I led him out of my sight
- 39:35Speaker 12: for two minutes, and the police officer went back behind
- 39:37Speaker 12: the bin and found the stuff Sutcliffe had dumped.
- 39:43Speaker 1: Sutcliffe was subsequently taken to the West Yorkshire Police headquarters.
- 39:47Speaker 1: After two days of intense questioning, he suddenly declared he
- 39:50Speaker 1: was the ripper, so.
- 39:52Speaker 12: There was no way he could deny the crimes, he
- 39:54Speaker 12: would be tied to them forensically, very easily.
- 39:57Speaker 8: I think he'd got to the point when he knew,
- 40:00Speaker 8: one way or another, even subliminally, that he was very
- 40:04Speaker 8: unlikely to get away with it again, and let's deal
- 40:07Speaker 8: with it now. And so he rapidly, and I do
- 40:10Speaker 8: mean very rapidly, within about twenty four hours, starts what
- 40:14Speaker 8: became the most extraordinary series of confessions to thirteen murders
- 40:19Speaker 8: and seven attempted murders of women. Almost chapter and verse.
- 40:24Speaker 12: He admitted his guilt, of course, with diminished responsibility. And
- 40:28Speaker 12: that's where the element of psychiatry in the law would clash.
- 40:32Speaker 12: How much of Sutliff was responsible for what he did
- 40:35Speaker 12: and how much was not responsible.
- 40:39Speaker 1: Several weeks after confessing to the murders, Sutcliffe claimed that
- 40:42Speaker 1: he heard the voice of God telling him to rid
- 40:45Speaker 1: the world of Harlot's.
- 40:47Speaker 2: Sutcliffe said today that his mission to kill began here
- 40:50Speaker 2: Bingley Cemetery, where as a teenager he worked as a
- 40:52Speaker 2: grave digger. It was something I felt was wonderful. I
- 40:55Speaker 2: believed then and now that it was the voice of God.
- 40:58Speaker 2: I was standing in an open grain taking a rest
- 41:00Speaker 2: from digging, I heard a voice similar to a human voice,
- 41:03Speaker 2: but with the words mixed up. In the years to come,
- 41:06Speaker 2: Suttcliffe came to have received hundreds of messages urging him
- 41:09Speaker 2: to continue killing.
- 41:10Speaker 6: One of the things that you would have is in schizphrenia,
- 41:13Speaker 6: you would expect to have hallucinations and command to hallucinations,
- 41:18Speaker 6: some voice in your head telling you to go and
- 41:21Speaker 6: do something.
- 41:23Speaker 1: His claim to have slaughtered women for God. At his
- 41:26Speaker 1: trial raised a huge question mark about his sanity.
- 41:30Speaker 8: He suddenly started to argue that, oh, far from being
- 41:34Speaker 8: a bad person, he was a mad person, he was
- 41:38Speaker 8: a paranoid schizophrenic, and that he couldn't possibly be tried
- 41:43Speaker 8: as a sane man because he was completely mad.
- 41:46Speaker 2: The jury of six men and six women took their places.
- 41:49Speaker 2: They heard the Attorney General, Sir Michael Habers say they
- 41:52Speaker 2: had one decision to make. Was Peter Sutliff a schizophrenic
- 41:55Speaker 2: or is he a cunning, sadistic killer who's invented his
- 41:58Speaker 2: madness in the hope of winning a lighter sentence.
- 42:01Speaker 6: I agree with their definition that he was paranoid schizophrenic.
- 42:05Speaker 6: I've been fortunate enough to talk to three out of
- 42:07Speaker 6: the four psychiatrists that interviewed him, and they all four
- 42:11Speaker 6: of them agreed that he was a paranoid schizophrenic.
- 42:14Speaker 12: We do need to remember that psychiatry is not an
- 42:17Speaker 12: exact science. There's an element of subjective opinion in diagnoses.
- 42:21Speaker 12: He clearly wasn't normal and wasn't healthy, but back in
- 42:25Speaker 12: the seventies paranoid schizophrenia was a go to diagnoses. A
- 42:30Speaker 12: modern day sout Cliff would be diagnosed as having some
- 42:34Speaker 12: kind of psychopathic personality disorder.
- 42:37Speaker 2: The problem is, says the Attorney General, that none of
- 42:39Speaker 2: this was told by sutlift to the police in a
- 42:42Speaker 2: very lengthy interview he gave them. He simply said, I
- 42:45Speaker 2: have these urges to kill.
- 42:47Speaker 17: This could be believed, this could be dismissed. Unfortunately, many
- 42:51Speaker 17: killers go for this kind of defense. The idea that
- 42:55Speaker 17: for every kind of crooked act there is a crooked
- 42:58Speaker 17: molecule within my brain is not my fault.
- 43:02Speaker 1: Finally, the jury decide.
- 43:04Speaker 2: So Peter Sutliffe the Yorkshire River, is a mass murderer.
- 43:08Speaker 2: The jury of six men and six women took nearly
- 43:10Speaker 2: six hours to reach their verdict, as each of the
- 43:13Speaker 2: thirteen women's names was read out The answer was the same,
- 43:16Speaker 2: by a majority of ten to two, guilty of murder
- 43:19Speaker 2: on all charges. Outside, the crowds who had waited so
- 43:22Speaker 2: long for a verdict were delighted. They unashamedly rejoiced at
- 43:25Speaker 2: the news that Sutliffe was to spend at least thirty
- 43:28Speaker 2: years behind bars. But for West Yorkshire Police it's the
- 43:31Speaker 2: end of a nightmare which began five years ago.
- 43:34Speaker 1: Even in jail, Sutcliffe continued with his claims of insanity.
- 43:38Speaker 8: That the ever devious, manipulative Sutcliffe was never going to
- 43:42Speaker 8: give up, so he convinces first of all the prison
- 43:46Speaker 8: authorities and then a number of distinguished psychiatrists that he
- 43:49Speaker 8: is indeed a paranoid schizophrenic and he shouldn't be in
- 43:53Speaker 8: an ordinary prison, but he should indeed have special treatment
- 43:56Speaker 8: in broad More Special Hospital, which he duly.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Gets After over thirty years of life in a secure hospital,
- 44:05Speaker 1: psychiatrists determined that Sutcliffe is now mentally fit to be
- 44:08Speaker 1: returned to prison, and on the twenty fourth of August
- 44:11Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, he was transferred to HMP Franklin in Durham.
- 44:17Speaker 4: The decision to declare Sutcliffe mentally well enough to leave
- 44:20Speaker 4: this high security hospital needs to be robberstamped by the
- 44:23Speaker 4: Justice Secretary.
- 44:24Speaker 8: Sutcliffe is one of the most depraved, dangerous, devilishly evil men.
- 44:31Speaker 8: He is simply disgraceful.
- 44:34Speaker 12: I hope we never see another killer of his ilk
- 44:38Speaker 12: terrorize the nation, But the legacy, I think, lives on
- 44:43Speaker 12: much longer than any other serial murder we've seen
- 45:07Speaker 14: Post
